About 70,000 Canadians were wrongly approved for dental benefits due to an income error, but no repayments are required.
About 70,000 Canadians were wrongly approved for dental coverage under the federal dental plan due to a flawed income calculation, Health Canada confirmed on October 21, 2025.
The error, affecting roughly 1% of active members, has been corrected, and those who received care will not have to repay benefits.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan, now covering over 5.5 million people, provides an average of $800 in annual coverage for services like cleanings and fillings, though only about 3 million have accessed care.
Alberta plans to exit the program by 2026.
Affected individuals are being notified, and Health Canada urges all members to verify coverage via a My Service Canada Account before dental visits.
